Dating a shorter man

Bree July 31, 2016 31 Comments

Being a tall woman is like being a regular person with a built-in platform. You’re recognizable. You’re memorable. You don’t get lost in the crowd. I imagine it’s like being a celebrity. You can’t turn off “tall”. So when you date a short person, you are the center of attention. People stare. People talk. You can either feel like a supermodel or a linebacker. Or, both.

Hi new friends! It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Katharine Henner, nickname “Katie.” I am 6 feet tall and no, I do not play basketball.
